'First, let's buy the attack enhancent card; I might end up needing it in the future anyti…'
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy 'Attack Enhancent Card (Advanced)'?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes'
Jareth already has enough credit points to support the purchase of both the attack card and the golden lottery, so there was no need to hold back.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received an 'Attack Enhancent Card (Advanced)'!]
[-4000 CP]
After finishing that, Jareth looked at the golden lottery and took a deep breath to calm his mind.
'Although I know now that there is basically no such thing in the golden lottery that can be considered useless, but still, I want things that can be of imdiate benefit to …'
'If I got sothing like a strong sword or sothing, it won't be of any use to ; I will need to give that weapon to soone else instead, which would be quite the loss…'
Currently, although Jareth has beco stronger, he's still nothing in front of the power of the laws; he needs more ti to develop.
The power of the laws is sothing that you can't just understand and control in one day or two.
Even though Jareth figured out how to control the thunder in the desert area, he was barely just able to modify it in the slightest.
He can't actually command the law of thunder like how he commands his mana singularity.
His mastery over it isn't that high; moreover, he has no affinity for thunders anyway, so it's a waste of ti to be trying to really learn how to command thunder.
Without high enough thunder affinity, he will never be able to grasp the true core nature of the law of thunder, even with the help of mana singularity.
'Actually, ever since I got this system, it has been giving things that I need the most at the mont… So I am sure I will get sothing that's useful for …'
May it be fate or sothing else, Jareth has been getting things that could improve his situation.
When he didn't have the original body's mory, he got the newbie pack that gave him mories of the original body.
Then he got the attack enhancent card that resolved his imdiate crises of dealing with the wyvern.
Afterwards, he was aiming to beco stronger and got mana singularity, which directly improved him trendously.
Getting mana singularity was a turning point for him.
Before getting it, he was relying on just his attack enhancent cards and random luck to survive.
But if he hadn't gotten mana singularity, he would have long died in the hands of those two death squad twins who ca to the university specially to assassinate him.
Even if he had used the attack card on them, the two of them wouldn't have completely died as they were blessed with the power of miasma.
Only the way of continuous bombardnt and massive miasma repelling was more useful on them.
In other words, from the start, this system has been supporting him with exactly the right things that he needed for the mont.
'Except for that one ti when I got that questionable forbidden spell…'
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy a golden lottery?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes'
'It's ti I use my luck-increasing ritual that I haven't had to use since the Heian era; didn't think I will need it today…'
'Oh, god of thieves and gamblers, bless with luck, and my life is yours!!'
Jareth rubbed his hands to pray, and as if the system really heard his pleas, he indeed got sothing really useful today.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have received the 'Affinity Improvent Card (Advanced)'!]
Although Jareth's expression was still as cold as ever, he was already crying tears of happiness in his mind.
'Ah, it's indeed true; this system is really working according to what I need the most!'
Jareth wasn't sure about the origins of this system, but he knew one thing: that without this system, he couldn't have reached his current heights so fast at all.
If Jareth didn't have the system, he wouldn't have survived the very first event anyway, so he has nothing to complain about it.
Currently, the one thing that Jareth was lacking the most was his fire affinity.
He indeed has basic magic that is very strong, but basic magic doesn't have many spells that can be used for offense.
Most of the ti, Jareth has to use mana beams and mana bombs; that's all he has in his arsenal.
In fact, the battle with Konda has taught him that if he one day t soone who is completely immune to basic magic, then Jareth will have no way to fight and he will be defeated extrely easily.
'Let's not delay now…'
[Ding! Are you sure you want to use the 'Affinity Enhancent Card (Advanced) on your Fire Affinity?]
[Warning! This action will cause great changes in the strings of destiny and might lead to dangerous situations!]
[Warning! This action will attract the prying eyes of many great beings across the universe!]
[Warning! This action will cause great destruction in the nearby area!]
[Warning! This action may cause great pain to the user's body!]
[Do you still want to continue?]
[Yes or No!]
Just when Jareth thought that improving his affinity would be just an ordinary matter, he was bombarded with several warnings one after another.
'So many warnings at once!? What the!? It's not like I am launching a nuclear missile on innocent civilians; I am just trying to improve my fire affinity here…'
There were no such warnings in the ga, so Jareth has no idea what's going on here.
The very first warning is that if Jareth used the card to improve his fire affinity, it would change the strings of destiny.
'Actually, wouldn't that be a good thing for ? The more changes there are in the strings of destiny, the more credit points I will be able to earn in the future…'
In Jareth's opinion, this was actually a beneficial thing for him, so he directly ignored this warning.
This sa warning had appeared before too, but aside from Konda appearing out of nowhere, not many great difficulties have co his way.
'Ah, yes, that incarnation of the demon god could also be considered sothing that I caused with my butterfly effects…'
The second warning would have been the real problem, actually.
The prying eyes of great beings would have caused Jareth a lot of trouble as all his actions would have been monitored by those so-called great beings.
But now that Jareth knows that this planet is surrounded by the sea of miasma, there's no need to worry about this matter.
The seal of the false do will hide this matter anyway, so there is no need to care about this warning either.
As for the third and fourth warnings, Jareth already has distanced himself enough; no one will get hard as it's just barren desert near him, and only the last warning will cause trouble for him.
'Ugh, it seems I will be suffering a lot of pain next…'
Jareth gritted his teeth, and a look of determination flashed by in his eyes.
'No pain, no gain… For a better chance of survival in the future, the pain I suffer right now doesn't matter…'
If Jareth didn't succeed in escaping, his soul will be caught in the sea of miasma, and he will suffer eternal torture.
Suffering imnse pain now for a limited ti is a much better option than suffering for an eternity.
After making up his mind, Jareth decided to finally use the card.
'Yes'.
[Ding! You have used the Affinity Enhancent Card (Advanced)!] Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
[Ding! Your fire affinity will be improved to the extre levels!]
At that mont, Jareth's whole body started to heat up to a very high degree.
His body beca so hot that he was sweating buckets.
All of a sudden, the mana in the air also started to turn into fire and rush towards him.
The temperature in the area started to get hot at an insane pace.
Shin, who was standing in the distance, imdiately sensed the situation and cast a massive shield to protect himself and the others.
Even Aria helped to strengthen that barrier with her mana so as to avoid any dangers.
Jareth's skin seed to have caught fire at that mont, and an insane amount of fire elentals were rushing towards him at the mont.
The sky turned red from that heat, and the sand on the ground turned into molten lava.
Shin and the others had to close their eyes as Jareth was now emitting extrely bright light.
It was as if Jareth had turned into the center of a nuclear explosion.
The ground was turned into molten lava for hundreds of ters; even the moisture in the air evaporated, making it extrely dry.
Yet the heat kept on getting more and more terrifying.
In the center of it all, Jareth was trying to scream in agony, but no words ca out of his mouth as the fire elentals had blocked his senses at the mont.
It was as if his very soul was being burned by the flas. It was pure torture. Torture of the level that ordinary humans can't survive for even a second.
Pain, suffering, regret. Jareth experienced all of them in that half an hour.
A massive tornado of flas rose in the sky, and the winds in the area beca extrely chaotic.
Shin glanced at all this and shouted in shock.
"What the actual f*ck is happening!? I have never seen anyone create such a massive scene just to ascend a small realm!!"
